Variable and voting interest entities
9. Variable and voting interest entities
The Company consolidates the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity ("VOE") in which it has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VOE or VIE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.
Consolidated variable interest entities
Alstead Re
Alstead Reinsurance Ltd. (“Alstead Re”) is considered a VIE and the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Alstead Re because the Company can exercise control over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Alstead Re. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alstead Re in its consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2025, Alstead Re’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $6.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively (December 31, 2024 - $6.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively).
Arcadian
Prior to June 30, 2024, Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. (“Arcadian”) was considered a VIE and the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of Arcadian because the Company could exercise control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of Arcadian. As a result, the Company consolidated the results of Arcadian in its consolidated financial statements.
Effective June 30, 2024, the Company deconsolidated Arcadian when the Company’s management and Arcadian consented to certain amendments to the shareholders’ agreement and termination of the unsecured promissory note which resulted in the Company ceasing to have control over Arcadian. On June 30, 2024, the Company accounted for its retained equity investment in Arcadian under the equity method of accounting and recorded its noncontrolling interest in Arcadian at an estimated fair value of approximately $115.0 million, which was determined by an independent valuation specialist, in Other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. A gain of $95.9 million was recognized by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of deconsolidation, which was recorded in Other revenues in the Company’s consolidated income statement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded its share of net income in Other revenues in its consolidated income statement. The Company’s ownership in Arcadian remained 49% as of June 30, 2025.
Consolidated voting interest entities
Alta Signa
Alta Signa Holdings (“Alta Signa”) is considered a VOE and the Company holds a majority of the voting interests through its seats on Alta Signa’s board of directors. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alta Signa in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ownership in Alta Signa as of June 30, 2025 was 75.1%. As of June 30, 2025, Alta Signa’s assets and liabilities, before intercompany eliminations, included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively (December 31, 2024 - $1.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively).

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Non-consolidated variable interest entities
The Company is a passive investor in certain third-party-managed hedge and private equity funds, some of which are VIEs. The Company is not involved in the design or establishment of these VIEs, nor does it actively participate in the management of the VIEs. The exposure to loss from these investments is limited to the carrying value of the investments at the balance sheet date.
The Company calculates maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where the Company has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. The Company does not have any VIEs that it sponsors, nor any VIEs where it has recourse to it or has provided a guarantee to the VIE interest holders.
The following table presents the carrying amount of unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest, as well as the maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Third Point Enhanced LP
As of June 30, 2025, the Company and Third Point Advisors LLC (“TP GP”) hold interests of approximately 89.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of the net asset value of TP Enhanced Fund. As a result, both entities hold significant financial interests in TP Enhanced Fund. However, TP GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of TP Enhanced Fund. As a result, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate TP Enhanced Fund. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on this investment corresponds to the carrying amount, which is included in Other long-term investments in the table above. For further details on the Company’s investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, please refer to Note 7 “Investments” of Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
On February 28, 2025, the Company provided notice to Third Point LLC of its intent to redeem all of its capital accounts for Third Point Enhanced LP by March 31, 2026.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund I LP
Third Point Venture GP LLC controls all of the investment decision-making authority of the TP Venture Fund. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the TP Venture Fund. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss on this investment corresponds to the carrying amount
plus unfunded commitments of $7.1 million (December 31, 2024 - $9.3 million), which is included in Other long-term investments in the table above. For further details on the Company’s investment in the TP Venture Fund, please refer to Note 7 “Investments” of Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund II LP
Third Point Venture GP II LLC controls all of the investment decision-making authority of the TP Venture Fund II. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the TP Venture Fund II. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss on this investment corresponds to the carrying amount plus unfunded commitments of $18.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $19.7 million), which is included in Other long-term investments in the table above. For further details on the Company’s investment in the TP Venture Fund II, please refer to Note 7 “Investments” of Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Investment in Third Point Insurance Solutions Fund I LLC
On July 18, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase up to $25 million of securities issued by Third Point Insurance Solutions Fund I LLC (“TP ISF”). There was no initial cash outlay, and the commitment is expected to be funded ratably over the next twelve months. TP GP ultimately controls all of the investment decision-making authority and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of TP ISF, and so the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and will not consolidate TP ISF. This unfunded commitment is not included in the maximum exposure to loss table above.
